The spelling mistake worth billions and other stories

Usually I don't get much further through the LRB than the ever-delightful personal ads (a particularly fine crop, this issue, I thought, although more transparent than some batches). There's a intriguing review of The Google Story there too at the moment. In the Guardian, Tim Dowling has an amusing article about the rise of the podcast; good to know my decision not to bother with podcasts, with the exception of certain Radio 4 programmes and a very few quality lectures, was the right one.
